Growing up, we build up layer after layer after layer of protection to keep ourselves safe. Every time we say something weird in class and the other kids laugh at us or we get picked last for a team, every time we put ourselves out there and fall flat on our faces, another layer of scar tissue is added. Eventually our real selves, and everything that makes us worth knowing, are buried. Here's the paradox: On one hand, it is natural for us to desire connection with others. Having strong relationships can provide support and fulfillment in life. Yet, the desire to be liked can also lead to hiding our true selves and stifling our creativity. It can lead to hiding in different ways. In this episode, we explore this dual reality and how we can start to tackle it. Enjoy!
